I need help identifying which would be the best lock cylinder for a Pella sliding glass door. The door currently just has a small circular blank off plate on the outside, and it is unlockable only from the inside.

Thanks for posting. Before I can offer a solution, can I see a few photos of your current handle set? That will help us find a good key cylinder for you.

It is this style: inside lever sits between inside handle and door frame. The outside handle has a circular indentation, I presume to assistance in drilling out or punching out the metal.

You could possibly use our 82-310, but it will require either punching or drilling a hole in the outside handle. Try to knock out the hole first, but if you are not successful then you will need to drill.

Breaking the punch out is rarely good enough.
A 5/8" drill makes a nice hole.
